Nehar Shalom is thrilled to gather as a community for High Holy Day services. Services will take place at Nehar Shalom, 6 Eliot Street, Jamaica Plain and will be livestreamed.

Family Services:

Rosh Hashanah: in the tent at Nehar Shalom, 6 Eliot Street
Yom Kippur: at The Footlight Club, 7A Eliot Street across the street from Nehar Shalom

All are welcome at our services.

Nehar Shalom is committed to making ritual life accessible to all, while also sustaining our congregation. The cost to bring High Holy Day services to our community is $143/per person. While members support these costs through their annual dues, we ask those who are not members to cover the cost of their attendance.

If you are able to meet your basic monthly expenses, please consider fully covering the cost. If you have enough to share with others in our community, please consider giving more so we can continue to make our services accessible to all. No one will be turned away for lack of funds, and no one will be required to justify their need. All our services will also be freely live-streamed for all.

Nehar Shalom Member Registration opens July 22nd

Non-Member Registration opens August 5th.

Covid Information

Given our best understanding of our members' needs, public health, and the potential for the weather to be very hot this year, we have decided to make masking optional for all services this year.

This is not a permanent policy.

If this decision makes services inaccessible or uncomfortable to you, we invite you to let us know - we would like to better understand the needs of the broader community, so that we can continue to make responsive decisions in future years.

Accessibility and Safety

Our space at 6 Eliot Street is wheelchair accessible from the Eliot Street entrance. The bathrooms are fully wheelchair accessible.

We ask everyone who attends to refrain from wearing any perfume or scented deodorant or hair products to services, and to refrain from using highly scented soap, shampoo, or laundry detergent before attending services.

A quiet/low sensory space will available inside the building during services.

HIGH HOLY DAY SCHEDULE

There will be no planned police presence at our services. The Kavod Community Safety team, a group of trained community members who provide safety support at many local events, will be present throughout.
